A simple methodology for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral α,β-unsaturated δ-lactones was achieved by copper(I)-catalyzed direct vinylogous aldol reaction (DVAR) of β,γ-unsaturated esters and various aldehydes, including aromatic aldehydes, heteroaromatic aldehydes, α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, and aliphatic aldehydes. For aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes, a one-pot reaction consisting of DVAR, isomerization of the unsaturated carbon-carbon double bond from (E)-form to (Z)-form, and subsequent intramolecular transesterification was required to get the lactones in moderate to high yields with high enantioselectivity. For α,β-unsaturated and aliphatic aldehydes, the DVAR proceeded directly to afford the lactones in moderate yields with high enantioselectivity. In the DVAR, various functional groups were well tolerated. Moreover, the methodology was nicely applicable to the aldehyde group distributed in natural products, derivatives of natural product, and derivatives of drug molecules (atomoxetine and naproxen). The mechanism studies revealed that α-addition was reversible and not favored, which accounted for the excellent regioselectivity in the DVAR. The copper(I)-dienolate species generated through deprotonation was proposed to form an equilibrium with an allylcopper(I) species, which reacted with aldehydes to afford the DVAR products through a catalytic asymmetric allylation of aldehydes. Finally, the robustness of the present reaction was demonstrated by a gram-scale reaction, and the utility of the present methodology was showcased by the formal asymmetric synthesis of ezetimibe and fostriecin.

Ezetimibe (1), a strong β-lactamic cholesterol absorption inhibitor, was synthesized from (R)-6-(4-fluorophenyl)-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one 7. Independent pathways were analyzed in order to select the optimal one, which involved 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with C-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-N-(4-fluorophenyl) -nitrone (8), intramolecular nucleophilic displacement at the benzylic position of the lactone, cleavage of the N-O bond, elimination of a water molecule, hydrogenation of the double bond, rearrangement of the six-membered lactone ring into a β-lactam moiety, and final deprotection of the phenolic hydroxyl group. Highly stereoselective Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition was the most crucial step of the synthesis. Owing to the rigid transition state of the cycloaddition, the absolute configuration of the starting lactone controlled the formation of other stereogenic centers of the final molecule 1.
